Police have described an alleged daylight attack that left an elderly, disabled man fighting for his life in a Toowoomba hospital as "brazen and abhorrent".
Police apprehended and charged two teenage males, aged 18 and 16, over the incident, who today faced court in Toowoomba.
They said the 75-year-old was waiting at a taxi rank outside Grand Central Shopping Centre on Margaret Street at about 5pm Monday when he was pushed to the ground from behind and had his backpack stolen.
